Student Advice: "Don't bring a lot of extra clothes because you won't use them. Italians dress nicely but often weat the same outfit several times in one week."


If they dress nice there how am I suppose to pack clothes that are easily washed and drip-dried and how do i wear comfortable walking shoes that are dressy? hmm

I kind of have the same problem because all of the cute clothes I liked while shopping were not machine washable. Also, I don't think cute and comfortable walking shoes exist. That is an oxymoron.

Also, on your list I believe you forgot a bathing suit and a picture of Eliz. :-)

I know half of the things on this list wont pertain to Italy, but here is a list of what they say I need for London: http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/default.aspx?id=6018
I thought I'd give it to you just in case it would help or has something to consider taking.
